[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 1470455, member: 10447"] Having been a leading representative of a somewhat-large group of people (about 250), I know that you certainly cannot please all the people all the time. I think in this case though, changing something like the 3E Dark Sun rules, which will appeal to a devout (if somewhat smaller than mainstream) group, was probably a mistake, but then, we don't know all of their reasons for their doing so. It's possible that they are working based on mandates from WotC that even David Noonan might not know. For example, if they were told to make *all* submissions adaptable to all core classes, then that might be why they did what they did (I'm just guessing here). So, in fairness, it's probably not appropriate to be upset until we hear Paizo's thoughts. They may have a very good reason for doing what they did, even if some of us do not agree with it. Of course, it's their magazine and they can edit if they want to. If we as subscribers don't agree with their edits in general, we can cancel those subscriptions. Personally, though, I'm happy with Dragon overall, so one disappointing edit will not affect my overall happiness with the magazine. [/QUOTE]
